A senator from Paraná, an ally of the suspected former judge Moro, tried to justify his relationship with the money launderer.
247 - Senator Alvaro Dias (Podemos-PR) attempted to justify his relationship with money launderer Alberto Youssef, stating that when he received money from him, nothing discredited him, even though Youssef had already been convicted of smuggling. "Twelve hours of flight time were provided so that the film crew could travel and carry out their work," he said in a statement to [the media outlet]. reporter from Folha de S. Paulo.
"My legal team at the time of the events and my accounting team advised me correctly. I did everything in a transparent, legal and appropriate manner, and absolutely everything was declared in accordance with the law," the senator added.
The senator said he did not know Alberto Youssef at that time, although he understands that "at that moment there was no fact that would discredit him." But the report recalls that the money launderer had been a smuggler and had already been arrested previously in the 1980s.
